THE coolest guy in photography, Andy Adams of FlakPhoto, keeps asking to see our beautiful photos. Sadly, some of my best Clash are not ready for Prime Time.

I REFUSE to post photos without watermarks AND details! That takes TIME, far more than most want to realize. So many think I just took a photo and posted it. I took photos with heavy gear and hundreds of thousands of hours and dollars later, you see some of my photos.

Originally a bright deep orange red image. Much more detail and clarity and far more pleasing in black and white. Which took THOUGHT, TIME, SKILLS and Adobe Lightroom. NOT fast, not auto, not AI. Just “the girl with the camera eye”* and art degrees and decades of study, work, and creativity.
I LOVE Joe’s expressive face and body! He never stood still! His body as animated as a character who stuck their finger into a hot electrical outlet, surging energy through every cell! SO hard to get upclose and personal cos by the time the Clash hit America, they played bigger venue than I usually shot. I love the details!! Look closely. And listen to The Clash!
Really wanna burn it all down when I see MY photos with incorrect info. So I add a lot of details! My photos work best with Text AND Photos together!! People make all kinds of stupid, insulting, wrong assumptions about MY photos and ME. I’m FED UP. Which is WHY I LOVE THE CLASH! Look at these while listening to I’m So Bored with the USA or Career Opportunities or a real fave, WORKING FOR THE CLAMPDOWN.
45 seconds in and at end, unless they cut it to see ME dancing in my blue dress I can still wear, after 45 years!
*”Girl with the Camera Eye”  was bestowed upon me by Patti Smith as she stood on the Roxy stage,  pointing directly at me, sitting next to the stage (seats only venue), WeHo, November 15, 1976.
